Question related to submodule and different recurse config options

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I'm trying to set my git config like this (fetch.recurseSubmodules =
on-demand) and (submodule.recurse = true). The goal is to do fetch &
submodule update if-and-only-if the pointed-to commit changes.

However, it seems with this config a git pull will act as if
fetch.recurseSubmodules was set to true (instead of on-demand) and do
a fetch on all of the submodules. For me this does not correspond to
the documentation (which says the value of submodule.recurse will only
be used if fetch.recurseSubmodules is NOT set). I would have thought
that this recent commit:
https://github.com/git/git/commit/ed54e1b31ad1a9a35ef6c23024d325a2c4d85221
describes this scenario and fixed it, but I still have that behaviour
(git 2.37.3). Maybe that patch only covered true/false settings for
fetch.recurseSubmodules and doesn't properly handle the on-demand
setting?

Is what I see the intended behaviour?
Is it possible in any way to configure git to only fetch & update
submodules if the pointed-to commit changes?



Kind regards,

Pieter-Jan
